We have a bike rider! We loaded up the car with bikes and helmets and drove to the biggest and emptiest parking lot we could think of. After several half-hearted attempts at ditching the training wheels on the bumpy and narrow sidewalks, Sophie found unbelievable and amazing success in the wide-open parking lot. We were all laughing and screaming with joy! I am so proud of her for persevering and showing how tough she can be!

| He was yelling and cheering for Sophie, too! |
This week, we also maximized a beautiful spring evening. A short walk to observe the sprouts in the farm behind our yard turned into a spontaneous 2-mile hike up the trails behind our neighborhood. The kids collected flowers, rocks, and dead bugs. Cam became a hot, sweaty mess spinning tall tales about spiders and snakes that he had allegedly collected.
("Mommy, do you like it when snakes tail you? Cuz I don't.") And Sophie (disgusting pink eye and all....) ran ahead with pride as the leader of our hike. Cam collapsed on the kitchen floor when we got home; it was way past bedtime, and he was "well, actually, pretty thirsty cuz I'm a little bit tired from our mountain hike."
